Hey Bron, Great stuff.:biggrin1: My surgeon didn't discuss my goal weight with me. I think he leaves that to the dietician. I have given myself the goal of 75 kgs, but it may actually need to be 70 kgs.

Dietician will tell me when I see her soon I guess.

Susannah.... did you see a dietician pre-op. I believe Dr Nottles makes his patients see one pre-op but not sure after that............

Hi, We have to do the info night, read heaps of literature that includes detailed info on diet, pre and post banding, physician, 2 consults with the surgeon, dietician post op. I had a sleep study also. How can I work out what my weight should be before I see the dietician? My height is 166.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
